The importance of quarantining the dirt that can get on our soul (IN THE CASE OF IMMIGATION OUR 'sole')

Example of Lot and his family see Genesis 19

2 Peter 2:8

Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day.

The dirt on your sould may be evidence of where you’ve been but it cannot come with you where you are going.

 

Prayer & Fasting: the stain remover of our soul

Matthew 17:21

However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

Indian food on the couch example. If you leave it for a while or even just quickly wipe over it the stain will remain. 

 

Don't live a life out of order. Spirit - Soul - Body

Example of a lift out of order

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

Colossians 1:22

Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

Spirit - The immaterial part of us that connects with God and the part that is "born again". It is the source of power and control for both your body and soul; it is either evil or good, darkness or light, unholy or Holy, unclean or clean, of satan or of God

Soul - psuche (soo-kay) meaning life force, from which we derive the english word psyche. You don't have a soul, you are a soul. It's our entire consciousness, it's our humanity. The imperfect part of us becoming perfect through the influence of our Spirit, this is what is meant by sancitification.  

Body -  the physical component of who you are. It is flesh made from a collection of unremarkable mineral elements (but is mostly water) and is in harmony with the nature and spirit of this world. It grows, matures, begins to deteriorate, eventually dies, and then decomposes back into its constituent elements and remains a part of the dust of the world. The body is a part of you but is not what defines who you are.

2 Corinthians 5:16&17

Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Live according to the Spirit (Romans 8:14), not according to the soul (Hebrews 4:12) and not according to the flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16, Romans 8:6)

Romans 8:5-14

5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. 6 So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7 For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. 9 But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) 10 And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life[d] because you have been made right with God. 11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. 12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters,[e] you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. 13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature,[f] you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

YOUR SOUL PROSPERS WHEN YOUR SPIRIT DOMINATES
